What Are You Running From

There is something about the nature of faith that is

illustrated by the rain in First Kings chapter eighteen, and

so we see it when Elijah says to Ahab, there

is the sound of the heavy rain. There's the sound

of the heavy rain that often when it comes to

the realm of faith, we hear things that we cannot

see yet. There are a few stages that you're going

to have to go through if you are going to

come out of the drought.

Now.

When I say the drought, I mean the dry season

that you have been experiencing inside of yourself. So I

want to speak to you today about coming out of

the drought, but I want to do it a little differently.

What I want to do is I want to talk

about the enemies that will keep you in a dry place.

I believe our faith must survive. The invisibility stage.

Is kind of tough because you.

Know what you heard, and you know what you sense.

Sometimes but what you see is a direct contradiction of

what you sense.

This is the second stage that your faith must survive.

It's insignificance. Celebrate the small start. I want you to

look at everything that seems stupid that you're doing right now,

and I want you to say this is significant.

The devil won't like it when you say that, because

the way he gets you to leave your assignment is

to convince you that it doesn't matter what you're working on.

It's so small.

That the enemy can't kill you in the invisibility stage

or the insignificant stage. The only thing left for him

to do to keep you from receiving what God is

pouring out in your life is intimidation.

Don't you know the devil found out a long time ago.

Then he can't curse what God is blessed since he couldn't.

Kill you, and he tries to contain you, so he

intimidates you. Some of us are better at surviving in

famine than we are at living in blessing.

So the message God gave me for somebody today you

know who you are, is that you are running from

the rain.

You are running from the blessing of God.

You are running.

From something that is already defeated. You are running from

shame that the Cross of Jesus Christ has already taken away.

You are running from situations that God has already worked out.

Head back in the right direction and run toward the rain.

It's raining now. The trail is over come out of

the trap is raining now.

Why would you run from the rain, Why would you

run from the blessing of God. See, when you run

from the resistance, you run from the rain. When you

run from the problem, you run from the promise. When

you run from the problem, you run from the harvest.
